NFL markets on prediction sites

The best prediction sites offer a wide range of NFL markets. We’ve rounded up the most popular markets for football fans below.

Futures markets

These markets focus on a team’s performance over the entire season. Here are the main futures options at prediction sites:

• Super Bowl winner: A simple yes/no prediction on whether a team will win the Super Bowl. Prediction sites release prices on each team before the season begins. The sites then update their prices as the season unfolds, reflecting the current state of play.
• Conference champions: You can also predict which team will win the AFC and the NFC. For example, you might find this option: “Buffalo to win the AFC – yes, 15¢, no 87¢.” If you think Buffalo will win the conference, you can buy contracts at 15¢. The contracts will settle at $1 if the Bills win the AFC, so you’d earn a profit of $0.85 on each contract.
• Division winners: Prediction markets allow you to bet on which team will win every division. Here’s an example: “Detroit to win the NFC North – yes 38¢, no 69¢.” If you don’t expect the Lions to win the division, you can buy “no” contracts at 69¢. Once again, they’ll settle at $1 if Detroit doesn’t win the division, so you’d earn a $0.31 profit on each contract.
• Best regular season record: You can predict which team will end the regular season with the best record. Kalshi made Seattle the early favorite to have the best record in the 2026 season – yes 20¢, no 98¢.
• To make the playoffs: Prediction markets let you speculate on whether a team will make or miss the playoffs. Just buy “yes” contracts if you think they’ll make the playoffs or “no” contracts if you think they’ll miss out.

Game markets

You’ll also find markets on every NFL game during the regular season and the playoffs. These are the main markets:

• Moneyline: A simple prediction on which team will win the game. For example, Kalshi was offering 68¢ on Seattle to win Super Bowl LX. If you’d risked $100, you would have received 148 contracts at 68¢ each. Each contract paid $1 after the Seahawks won the game, so you’d have received a $148 payout.
• Point spread: One team is given a handicap, which creates a point spread. You can then make a yes/no prediction on whether a team will cover the spread. For example, you could buy “yes” contracts at 51¢ on Seattle -3.5 vs. New England in Super Bowl LX. They won by 16 points, easily covering the 3.5-point spread.
• Total points: The market will set a total points line, such as 45.5 points. You can then predict whether the game will see “over” or “under” 45.5 points.
• Team totals: You’ll also be able to make yes/no predictions on how many points a team will score during a game.
• Player props: These markets allow you to bet on an individual player’s performance. For example, you can make over/under predictions on the total yards a QB will throw for.
• Game props: Predict whether an event will happen during the game. For example, will there be a 2-point conversion? Will there be a safety? Will the third quarter be the highest scoring quarter?
• Live markets: These markets are available after the game begins. For instance, you can predict which player will score the next touchdown.

Novelty markets

Prediction sites stand out by offering loads of fun, novelty markets. Here are some of the options available now:

• Will the Super Bowl winners visit the White House?
• Will Trump say “Mahomes” this month?
• Will Travis Kelce announce his retirement before next season?
• Will Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson be married before 2027?
• Who will be a groomsman for the wedding of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift?

Super Bowl props

There are always lots of fun markets on the Super Bowl too. Here are the top five Super Bowl prop markets from this past game:

1. Super Bowl MVP: You can predict which player will be named Super Bowl MVP. Sam Darnold led the Super Bowl MVP prediction markets in 2026, followed by Drake Maye. Kenneth Walker III was an outsider at 8.1% (8¢), but he won the award after rushing for 135 yards on 27 carries.
2. Halftime show performer: (Updated for 2027) The best prediction sites offer loads of markets on the halftime show. You can predict who will perform, which songs will be performed, who will appear on stage, and much more. Miley Cyrus is the early favorite to perform at Super Bowl LXI, ahead of Sabrina Carpenter and BTS.
3. Who will attend the Super Bowl: The Super Bowl is a great opportunity for celeb spotting, and prediction markets let you dial up the fun. You can predict who will attend, from Hollywood stars and politicians to former NFL players.
4. What will the announcers say?: These markets focus on the specific terms that the Super Bowl broadcasting team will say. They’re known as mention markets. Terms like “safety” and “MVP” are normally the top-priced terms, but you can also bet on obscure phrases.
5. Who will advertise during the Super Bowl: Kalshi normally releases a “Who will appear in a Big Game ad?” market. In 2026, there were contracts on Sydney Sweeney, Timothée Chalamet, and Harry Styles, plus brands like State Farm, Toyota, OpenAI and Salesforce.

Which prediction market to choose?

The top prediction market platforms have more than enough market liquidity to offer Super Bowl contracts, though the naming convention isn’t “Super Bowl odds” per se. Kalshi calls it “Pro Football Champion” while Polymarket uses “Super Bowl Champion 2026.” Both prediction sites have significant crossover in available contracts, including team futures, conference winners, division markets, and props like who will be the halftime performer and the winning state (California is leading here).

Here’s where you can bet on Super Bowl events in most states, including California, Texas, and Florida:

• Kalshi: Kalshi operates with direct bank account linking and fiat deposits. The “2026 NFL Championship Winner” market has individual contracts for each team—Rams at 20%, Bills at 13.5%, etc. Kalshi also runs conference championship markets, division winners, and season-long props. Use the Kalshi referral code DEFI to get a free $10 with your first $10 in trades on the Super Bowl.
• Polymarket: Polymarket requires USDC deposits through a crypto wallet. Polymarket’s structure allows for more exotic prop markets than Klashi. I found “Super Bowl – Winning State” (California at 48%) and entertainment props like halftime performer. There were also 208 outcome contracts listed under Super Bowl, meaning you can trade basically any scenario. The trading fees run around 2-3% depending on liquidity, though US market has an introductory price of 0.01%. Gas fees will usually add another $1-5 per trade.
• OG: Launched Feb. 3, OG is backed by Crypto.com and provides player props, spread, moneyline, totals and more. OG launched with a “Big Game” welcome bonus, giving new users up to $500 in volume milestone rewards. No referral code needed just yet. See our OG predictions review for details.
• DraftKings: DraftKings expanded with markets from Crypto.com, just in time for Sunday’s game. The additional contacts added to its roster includes the halftime show and non-athletic props. They also pushed a $75 Big Game bonus for players in non-sports betting states.
